Getafe had a disastrous return to La Liga action, as they lost 2-0 to Rayo Vallecano on Tuesday. To make matters worse, three of their players were sent off throughout the 90 minutes at the Civitas Metropolitano, with Juanmi Latasa, Mason Greenwood and Damian Suarez all being shown red by referee Jorge Figueroa Vazquez.
It was Greenwood’s red card that all-but ended Getafe’s chances of any sort of result. Soon after Rayo had gone 2-0 up, the on-loan Manchester United winger was shown a straight red card for dissent, much to the fury of he and his teammates.
As per MD, Figueroa Vazquez detailed the exact reason for Greenwood’s dismissal in his referee report.
“In the 50th minute, Getafe player Mason Greenwood was sent off for the following reason: for addressing me in protest and raising his arm, in the following terms: “f*** you!”. Once expelled, he puts his finger to his temple, making a repeated gesture as a sign of disagreement with the decision made.”
Greenwood’s suspension is a big blow for Getafe, given the recent form he has been showing. He will miss the trip to Osasuna in 19 days’ time, although he could be absent for further matches if the Competition Committee decide to extend his ban.
Looks like ref lied lol…figueroa should be suspended himself for his travesty of performance…but rfef is clown show and cant learn and take any criticism… pathetic organisation.
